20 Beholding

The Statement of the first hexagram

Behold! The hands have been washed,

but the offering has not yet been made.

Be sincere and dignified in appearance.

The changing lines

The second line:
Spying and peeping:

far better to have a woman's purity.
The fourth line:
Beholding our nation's glory:

make good use

of an audience with the king.
The fifth line:
Beholding my life:

the wise person rids herself of faults.
The sixth line:
In beholding others' lives

the wise person allows no faults.

40 Releasing

The Statement of the second hexagram

Gain in the west and south.
No cause to move forward-
then comes return, and fortune.
To have a place to go: dawn fortune.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

The wind moving above
the earth: beholding.
The ancient kings
inspected the provinces
and territories to establish
the right teachings.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Thunder and rain act:
releasing.
The noble one
pardons errors
and forgives offenses.
